Chapter 203: Chapter 199

Damon’s eyes suddenly dulled, but his hand was still tightly gripping mine

I wriggled out of his grasp, hopped in the car, and took off for the hospital.

The thought of my mom in trouble was unbearable. I panicked; my mind was in chaos. I hadn’t driven far when I crashed the car into a flower bed.

Luckily, I wasn’t going fast. My head hit the steering wheel, but I wasn’t hurt

"Eliana, can you stop giving me the cold shoulder?" Damon rushed over, opened the car door, and pulled me out. He checked me for injuries and breathed a sigh of relief

Then I was bundled into his car, and we sped off to the hospital

The ride was a blur. As far as I knew, my parents were in good health until my mom started having heart problems a few years ago. As an only child, I never dared to imagine life without them.

If I hadn’t gone to see Damon last night, Karen wouldn’t have caused a scene, Moa wouldn’t have spilled the beans, and my mom wouldn’t have had a heart attack from the shock

This mess was all my fault!

"Damon, why did you screw me over?" I turned and stared blankly at Damon.

"I didn’t screw you over, and I never will." Damon gripped the steering wheel tighter.

I forced a smile. "Wasn’t two years away from you enough? Luna and the others used to say you were bad news. I didn’t believe it then, but I do now All my trouble started with you"

Damon kept quiet, a storm brewing in his face.

"If I hadn’t gone to see you last night, none of this would’ve happened. I was a fool to ask for your help "I laughed bitterly, feeling desolate

Being reborn gave me another chance, but it didn’t change the tragic events. The twists and turns of fate were beyond my comprehension.

Miscarriage, divorce, harassment, company troubles, my mom’s accident-it seemed like bad luck was my shadow

Whether Damon loved me or not, it was all the same-bad news.

"I’ve sent someone to talk to Leger Corporation. They won’t switch to Soul Enterprises, they’ll continue working with your company," Damon stated about what he had done for me

"You should’ve fallen for Ariel, married her, had kids, and lived happily ever after. Why did things turn out this way? I can’t make sense of it." I was a bit lost.

-My mom’s accident had seriously rattled me

The car sped up. Damon’s voice was faint, "I could never be with her,"

"Haha." I just laughed. They were almost engaged, yet he could say something like that.

We caught up with the ambulance and finally stopped at the hospital. I immediately unbuckled and rushed into the hospital behind my mom.

My mom was rushed into the ER. My dad and I were left waiting outside.

The hospital was deserted at night. My dad and I sat on a long bench in the hallway. The light made my dad’s face look pale.

Not far away, Damon stood still, watching us.

My dad saw Damon. He stormed over to him.

"You despicable bastard" My dad grabbed Damon by the collar and yelled, "You’ve ruined our family!"

Damon was taller and younger than my dad. He could’ve easily resisted, but he just took the slap my dad gave him.

I watched them coldly, expressionless.

A nurse came over to break up the fight.

After they were separated, my dad pointed at Damon and continued scolding, "Hasn’t my daughter suffered enough for you? You’re divorced; why are you still pestering her? Are you trying to ruin her completely?"

"I never had that Intention" Damon looked at me, his eyes filled with sadness and helplessness

I looked away, avoiding his gaze

"If that’s the case, then swear you’ll never see my daughter again!" my dad demanded sternly.

"I can’t do that." Damon’s answer was short and clear, "I regret divorcing her, so I’m trying to find a way to win her back."

I was stunned. He was blatantly stating his intentions in front of my dad. Did he want to make my dad even angrier?

Sure enough, my dad was furning. He was about to continue scolding Damon when the ER doors opened. He immediately stopped and rushed over to ask about my mom’s condition.

"The patient is in bad shape and might be unconscious for a while. We can’t say when she’ll regain consciousness," the doctor delivered the bad news. My dad almost collapsed.

As I was inert, I held my father up mechanically. I never imagined my mom’s condition would be this serious.

Later, my mom was rolled out. Her eyes were closed, and she looked weak.

"Mom..." My voice trembled. I followed her into the ward and watched as the medical staff settled her in.

My dad was holding my mom’s hand, his eyes welling up.

This was all my fault!

I left the room. Damon was still waiting outside. I didn’t know what he was waiting for

"I really didn’t know this would happen. I’m sorry" Damon looked miserable as he apologized.

"Damon, there’s a lot you don’t know. Are you happy now? Look at what’s happened to my family! This is payback for divorcing you! Are you satisfied?" I gave Damon a weak look.

Damon just looked at me silently.

I didn’t say anything: I just turned and left. I needed to go home and rest. I had to work the next day. My abilities were still lacking, but now that my mom was sick, the responsibility of running the company fell on me.

I hailed a taxi home. My mind was like a movie reel, replaying various scenes. The neon lights outside the car window dazzled me.

Damon’s car followed. It seemed like he hardly went back to Starlight Estates now.

Suddenly, my phone rang. It was Jones.

"Where are you?"

"In a taxi. What’s up?" I only realized my voice was hoarse when I spoke.

"How did your mom suddenly faint? I thought she’s been managing her health well" Jones asked, "Why didn’t you tell me right away? Is Damon at the hospital?"

I closed my eyes, feeling utterly drained. "Jones, you must’ve heard the rumors about Damon and me by now, right? Do you believe me?"

Jones was silent for a moment before he said, "Yeah, I believe you. If it’s coming from you, I believe it."

"Thanks" The weight on my heart lifted a bit. I didn’t expect him to still trust me, even now. Actually, I was trying to use this opportunity to let Jones clearly see his feelings for me. Perhaps given the current situation, we both needed some time to think things through.

My mom was in bad shape. When I rushed to the hospital the next day the doctor told me that if she could wake up from her coma, it would be the best outcome.

For the next few days, I was running around between ward and the hospital, it was the first time I truly felt the harshness of life

"Is Dr. Jones really quitting?"

"Why would he quit"

"I’m not sure. I just heard he’s already handed in his resignation."

Loverheard a few nurses gossiping on my way to my mom’s ward

I couldn’t help but slow down. I hadn’t seen Jones much these days. He’d come to see my mom a few times, but only during his working hours.

"Was he really quiting"

As soon as Jones picked up the call

"Jones are you quitting"

"Yes I’m, because of my family’s business"

I rubbed my head helplessly knew that in my past life, Jones gave up his career as a doctor but I didn’t know it will happen these soon.

As we were talking,Jones appeared at the door of the ward

"Why are you here?" I quickly hung up the phone

Jones answered softly. "Don’t worry I’m fine"

He was wearing a beige sweater, looking warm.

"Just came to see you Sorry. Are you tired?

Jones came over and gently touched my head. "You look worn out"

I was indeed tired My dad couldn’t participate in the company’s affairs because he was taking care of my mom.Just dealing with management of the company made me feel exhausted.

Because of a lack of sleep at night and a bad diet during the day the weight had finally gained was gone in an instant

I forced a smile. "I’m trying to familiarize myself with the company’s business as fast responsibility"

Jones’s eyes were filled with deep concern. It made my heart flutter

The more tired I was the more I wished

shareholders to see my vulnerability,

I couldn’t help but lean into his arms.

Jones gently stroked my hair I closed my eyes, trying sleep

Damon stood there coldly Behind him was a sheepish Andrew.

I could feel Jones tense up. Both he and Damon were watching us.

"Sorry to disturb you," Damon said coldly His gaze finally on me. his eyes filled with coldness.

Jones asked his tone cool

"Why are you guys here?"

he just glanced at Andrew. Andrew immediately came over and said to me, "Ms. Brooks, we can sign the contract as soon as possible"

I had been worrying about this matter for a while and even considered asking my uncle for help. But thinking of my mom

Jones left for me to talk to Andrew privately.

"Alright. We’ll continue to cooperate at the price we agreed upon the other day." The weight in my heart finally lifted, and my smile was a bit more genuine.

"Good. I look forward to our future cooperation." Andrew shook hands with me and told Damon, "Mr. Coleman, I’ll leave first."

Damon just waved his hand and said. "Alright"

In the business world, the Coleman family indeed had more influence than ours. I had to admit that.

After Andrew left, only Damon and I remained. I wasn’t sure whether to stay or leave.

Damon looked at me with a smirk on his face. He then said, "Now that your concerns are resolved, what are you still doing here?"

"Thank you." I said briefly.

"I told you, this is my compensation to you" Damon’s brows furrowed slightly. "The harm I brought to your family wasn’t intentional"

I smiled helplessly and said, "Damon, we really are perfect adversaries."

Damon didn’t respond to this. He simply explained. "The Leger Corporation issue was Ariel acting on her own using my name. I’ve warned her, but you should still be careful because Nancy is also involved."

Nancy was the real puppet master here. Ariel might bow down to Damon, but Nancy definitely won’t.

’Got it. I must head back to my mom" It was getting late. I told Damon casually.

We left the coffee shop, one after the other. Damon didn’t rush to his car, instead, he waited for me to get in mine first.

Early autumn had come. There was a slight chill in the air. I cracked the window open, watching his figure shrink in the rear-view mirror.
